Posted November 23, 201410 yr Can anyone think of any chart weeks where two or more songs that would go on to become classics were released in the same week? I'll start off: W/E 3/6/2000 Sonique - It Feels So Good S Club 7 - Reach Pretty unfortunate for Reach to run into Sonique for 3 weeks in a row, it's probably their signature song, or at least on par with Don't Stop Movin'. W/E 27/10/2000 Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love Take That - Rule The World Both million sellers, Rule The World would have topped the chart on pretty much any other week in 2007 with the sale it had :(

November 23, 201410 yr ^^You can add Frankie to the 1984 chart too although it was No1 the week before!

November 23, 201410 yr From 1997 Spice Girls-Spice Up Your Life Aqua-Barbie Girl And Janet Jackson-Together Again Robbie Williams-Angels Teletubbies released a million seller that week too-but would we count that as a 'classic'?
November 23, 201410 yr Author I don't know if I'm stretching it to call Runaway by The Corrs a 'classic' but it was released on the same week as Baby One More Time. I was devastated.
November 23, 201410 yr So it was not released that week as the topic stated :D I just thought it was worth a mention as I love the song lol
November 23, 201410 yr How about most million sellers in the top 100 at any given time? :thinking: But this is based on weeks 2 classics were new entries and not when 2 classics were in the same chart but were released on different weeks :)
November 23, 201410 yr I don't know if I'm stretching it to call Runaway by The Corrs a 'classic' but it was released on the same week as Baby One More Time. I was devastated. It's stretching it less than Sonique! On the other hand, that was the third time 'Runaway' had been released.
November 23, 201410 yr Author It's stretching it less than Sonique! On the other hand, that was the third time 'Runaway' had been released. :lol: I guess it's a classic in certain dance circles, even though it seems to be becoming more and more forgotten as time goes on. For the record I've never actually cared much for the song, or any of her material.
November 23, 201410 yr I suppose everyone's idea of what songs are considered classics will differ. Week Ending 18/03/1989 Madonna - Like A Prayer Guns N Roses - Paradise City In my humble opinion, both of these have stood the test of time well. Week Ending 08/12/1973 Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday Elton John - Step Into Christmas Elton didn't make the top 40 that week, but entered next week where Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody was also a new entry. Who'd have thought that 40 years later they would all be Christmas classics? Edited November 23, 201410 yr by Campbell
November 23, 201410 yr 03/04/1999 Aphex Twin - Windowlicker System F - Out of the Blue TLC - No Scubs all three were the peak of the respective genres for many. Edited November 23, 201410 yr by AntoineTTe
November 23, 201410 yr 01/04/2000 Moloko - The Time Is Now Melanie C Featuring Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes - Never Be The Same Again
November 23, 201410 yr 03/04/1999 Aphex Twin - Windowlicker System F - Out of the Blue TLC - No Scubs all three were the peak of the respective genres for many. New Radicals - You Get What You Give was also released that week. The following week saw both Eminem - My Name Is and Phats & Small - Turn Around.
